Thanks for your input here, your comment is actually very helpful. I realise that if I don't learn from it now, the post could come back to haunt me. But that's just it, it holds me accountable, which is the motivation I need to sort it out.
Been watching sublime for some time now after I gave it a short try. If only these lightweight editors provided CTRL-click type navigation I'd be sold. I use IntelliJ IDEA now - it is a powerhouse of irreplaceable help. It works magic with Java/Groovy/JavaScript/CSS/HTML navigation.
I need Sublime to provide type navigation. Forget debugging and other features.
